It be that time of week again. Time for the Wednesday Mash-up! Enjoy folks!

This week a new theme starts. A theme with power, a theme with  range, a theme that does not err. That’s right. It’s morphin’ time! Did I get that last part right? At any rate, this week we start the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or just the Power Rangers for short. For the record, I’ve never seen a complete episode of the show. I just thought some of you out there might enjoy the theme.

Who else to be the Red Ranger, but Red Rich? This was a tricky pose. I’m not satisfied with the way the legs turned out, but it was the best I could manage so they’ll have to do. I have no if I drew the right buckle for this specific costume, but it turns out you can’t really see the details anyway. No helmets because I learned with past mash-ups that there’s little use saying it’s a mash-up if you can’t see who’s wearing the costume, tail not withstanding. As always, click on the picture to enlarge it.

So that’s this week’s edition of the Wednesday Mash-up. Which Power Ranger will be next and who will be playing him or her? Find out next Wednesday!

Happy Monday! He said, when Monday was closer to being over than it was to beginning. I trust everyone is well and enjoyed their weekend.

I had a pretty good weekend myself. I was invited to a little gathering of friends at Zone 51 to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It had been over a month and a half if not two months since I’d been able to go to the Zone so I had a LOT of comics waiting for me. I really need to go more regularly so as to avoid having to plunk down huge chunks of change at one time. I also thought it would be an opportune time to pick up some more long boxes to store my comics in. This was the third time I’d told myself I needed to pick some up and it was the third time that I completely spaced and forgot to do so. Well, here’s to hoping I remember when I go back on Thursday!

It was a nice get-together with friends, Rock Band and cake! It’s always a treat to spend some time with my friends. The cake was also a treat that was coffee and chocolate flavoured and really good but also REALLY rich! I had one slice and would have been hard-pressed to eat another. As for Rock Band, my experience is very limited. The majority of the song library were out of my wheelhouse, but I did find a couple of songs to sing since I’m just a karaoking fool.

On Sunday, it was out to the lake to my mother’s cabin for a barbecue. My aunt Liz is in town from Nova Scotia and it’s been a few years since I’ve had a chance to see her so it was nice to be able to do so. My mother had already introduced her to my site, but I was able to talk a little bit more about what it is I’m doing. I gave her a set of the postcards I made for Free Comic Book Day to take back to Nova Scotia with her. We’ll all be getting back together this week for supper at my sister’s.

Add a little drawing to all that and that was my weekend. With that, this week’s blog is concluded! Have a good week folks!
